  • I wish we could offer the victims lifelong protection from retribution if they agree to name names. They deserve to live full, healthy lives and the people who hurt them need to face justice. As it is…

    When they’ve tried to do anything, nothing comes of it and their lives get worse.

    “Most of the individuals, the victims, are very scared to say these names because they could get sued. They’re going to get attacked, and nobody protected them the first time and that was against one person,” Edwards said.

    Henderson added, “I think if someone’s interested in prosecuting, they may have something different to say about sharing a list, but they’re not sharing a list for nothing to happen. And that’s the experience that they’ve had for all of these years.”

    All their lives, they get treated like a sacrifice for other people to get what they want. They get raped to fulfill the fantasies of the powerful. They get threatened if they ever say anything. Now, the well intentioned keep pushing them to come out with names for the greater good. Are there negotiations behind the scenes to make sure the people who victimized them don’t use their considerable power and lack of interest in abiding to the law (by definition, if someone raped a child, they don’t care about exclusively following the law) to further harm them? And everyone they care about?
